The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is partnering with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to host a free webinar on fraud prevention for produce‑industry members.
The webinar comes amid reports of sophisticated imposter fraud schemes targeting buyers, sellers and transporters across fruit and vegetable supply chains. Recent allegations reported to USDA’s Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) Division point to fraudulent procurement attempts involving spoofed identities, falsified credentials, altered email domains and deceptive trust-building tactics.
The presentation is part of ongoing USDA and FBI efforts to strengthen industry awareness and fraud prevention through outreach and information sharing.
The webinar will be held on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. PST. No registration is required.
